To those from the Western hemisphere, it’s always fascinating to hear that some homes and businesses from the times of the Greek philosophers still have inhabitants, and then you remember that the Western hemisphere is itself not without its own examples, for example some Mexican villages still have temples from the times of the Mayans.

I think the oldest building would be the castle that eas first officially mentioned in 1004 AD and the first parts of the castle were built way before that.
142 years.
Interesting that it was moved to a different lot in 1986.
And looks like any other house, just with fancy window frames.
I like that you figured out the city I was referring to. Not that I made it that hard.
I’m in a California suburb, and the oldest building we have is an old adobe barn from 1852, which is pretty old for California. We actually have a lot of historical buildings, too.
Normal people houses don’t survive much longer that 500-600 years bc on fire and bombing, but town hall, temple, fort, palace and other administration building can be much much older.
Houses weren’t typically built with durable materials. Only fancy buildings could afford to be.
My dad lives in a house that the oldest rooms date from around 500 years ago lol. It would be very had to tell by just looking at the house, since it’s been updated and expanded over the centuries.
We don’t even know if it really is that old, but from figuring it out from some renovations and the position in the town, it’s a good guess.
I live in the countryside so there ain’t a lot…
Excluding ruins, 11XX. The exact dates aren’t really known
That will probably be the church that was built in 1190s
The Old Tower from around 1300. It was part of a church that was destroyed in 1880.
Early 1800s is the best guess. It’s a log house that is maintained as a sort of museum these days.
Don’t know about the oldest home, but I’m living in a house built 10 years before the US State I was born in became a US state.
St Margarets Chapel, 1130.
Skara brae. 3150 bc
Smederevo Fortress - 1428.
It was built in 1858! Did not know that.
1887 Grissom House
A building from 1841 is still here from the French.
